I am new to unicycling and I have a uni from a friend that is just a old craper. So I have been looking for a nice uni on ebay that is 100 bucks or so. There are tons of torkers on ebay so I was wondering if torkers were a good brand or not. I thought the cx looked good but I have no idea
Torker is a great brand, but go with the LX. The LX is a lot better than the CX, mainly in the frame and seat. And the LX seat can be easily modded to an airseat if you ever want to do that.
The LX will allow you learn most of very style. Its actually a really great freestyle unicycle, and you be able to learn the basics of trials, and street, flatland, and do some muni on it.
How long have you been riding the other unicycle?
When you say you are new to unicycling, exactly how new are you? If you are still learning how to ride, then I’d just stick to your friend’s uni. The CX probably won’t be that much better, and it’ll save you money to wait.
If by new you mean you know how to ride for the most part, but you’re trying to get into more advanced kinds of unicycling, then the CX is still not a great choice. If you are looking for an entry level trials/street unicycle, the Torker DX and the Nimbus Trials are both good options. These both cost upwards of 200 dollars though, I’m not sure how great a uni you will get for under 100 dollars.
Oh ok thanks. When I say new I mean I have only been learning for about a week. I just wasn’t sure if learning on a new one would be easer. I plan to spend more money on a uni in the future I just wanted something cheeper for now. I really like my friends 20 in Nimbus trials with lSlS Hub, with the creepy crawler wheel, and Kris Holm cranks. Thanks:D
yeah that sounds pretty sweet. i think a torker LX is the best for learning, it was my second uni though.
Austin you dummy, why don’t you just ask me.
How about this one
I have never seen one of these, but I like Dimensions other stuff, cheap yet good pedals etc.
For 80 $, you get a double walled alum rim.
Also, standard size wheel bearings that can be bought online for 1 $ each. Torker’s all use a special size bearings that cost 30 $/pr. So if you ever need new bearings, you would be glad to have one of these. Not that you will likely need them,but it is a possibility. I would prefer a cheap 24 to start out riding around the hood. Then maybe spring for a bigger $ trials bike later if you want to go that way.
